, State of Georgia, and SoLoN G. Lone, a citizen of the United States, residing at Moultrie, in the county of Colquitt and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Process of Making This invention relates to a process. of producing pecan nut butter.

In the preparation of pecan from themeats' of pecan nuts accordingeto moved from the shells of the nuts and assorted, or looked over in any desiredm'anner to remove foreign particles. u

The thus prepared meats are then placed in a suitable oven or other appliance, and

subjected toa degree 01": heat sufiicient, and

for a suflicient length of time to bring out the oil.- The heat which is found necessary for this purpose ranges from approximately 165 F. to approximately 200 with the most usually required temperature nearer the maximum temperature stated than the minimum. A suitable temperature for most-materials is about 1909. The time required is substantially ten minutes. The

nuts of the product will be greatly affected by the difference oftime and temperature to which the material. is subjected, and for spe cial purposesthe time may be greater or less than that mentioned. I Care must be exercised to keep the temperaturebelow 'thatof a roasting or parching degree, and which degree of temperature would destroy. the naturalflavoriofjthe nuts and the value of 40 the resulting product. m H

chine of such a character as to pulverize the Apparently the pulverization takes place while the meats are in a heated condition, and all of the oil which is originally contained inthe meats is retained in the finished product, the heating having modified the 'oil from its original finally divided condition as it exists in the natural product.

The product may be consumed asturned out by the pulverizing apparatus, or may be mixed with salt or other seasoning, according to the taste of the user, and is found to constitute a very palatable and nutritious food.

We claim: 1. The process of producing a pecan nut meats t tion of face of butter which comprises heating pecan nut o a degree sufficient to cause a porthe 011 thereof to appear on the surthe nuts but not to a degree sufiicient to roast or parch the same, and submitting the nuts to a pulverizing operation while in their heated condition.

2. The process of producing p'ecannut butter which comprises heating pecan nut meats to a temperature of between 165 to until a portion of the oil thereof appears upon'the surface of the meats and subsequently pulverizlng the thus treated material.

3. The process of producing pecan nut for aperiod of substantially ten minutes and pulverizing the thus treated material while in a heated condition.
